NAME

       soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats

SYNOPSIS

       soundconverter [options] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       soundconverter  is  a  simple  tool  for  converting  sound files to other formats.  It can work from the
       command line, but is really meant for interactive use in the GNOME environment.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Print out a usage summary.

       -b, --batch
              Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface.  You  can  use  this
              from, say, shell scripts.

       -m, --mime-type arg
              Set  the  output MIME type for batch mode.  The default is audio/x-vorbis.  Note that you probably
              want to set the output suffix as well.  You can also use shortcuts: aac, flac, mp3, vorbis, wav.

       -q, --quiet
              Be quiet.  Don't write normal output, only errors.

       -d, --debug
              Print additional debug information.

       -s, --suffix arg
              Set the output filename suffix for batch mode.  The default is .ogg.  Note that  the  suffix  does
              not affect the output MIME type.

       -t, --tags
              Show  tags for input files instead of converting them.  This indicates command line batch mode and
              disables the graphical user interface.

       -j, --jobs=
              Force number of concurent conversions.  Default is one per present CPU.
